Answer: $150

Step-by-step explanation:

If Bilbo bought the ring for 70% of the original price, this means that he saved:

= 100% - 70%

= 30%

$45 is therefore 30% of the original price.

Assuming the original price is x:

30% * x = 45

x = 45/30%

x = $150

true or false: the points (6, 13), and (21, 33) and (99, 137) all lie on the same line. th equation of the lines is y + /3x + 5.

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

point A (6,13) lies on the equation. True

given point B(21,33) lies on the equation. True

given point C (99, 137) lies on the equation. True

The equation that was given was y = 4/3x + 5

Now,check the given equation for the given points.

1) A (6,13)

Substitute x = 6 in the given equation y = 4/3x +5

y = 4/3(6) + 5 = 4(2) + 5 = 8+5 = 13

y=13

the given point A (6,13) lies on the equation.

2) B (21,33)

Substitute x = 21 in the given equation y=4/3x+5

y=4/3(21) + 5 = 4(7) + 5=28+5=33

y = 33

the given point B(21,33) lies on the equation.

3) C (99, 137)

Substitute x = 99 in the given equation y = 4/3x + 5

y=4/3(99) + 5 = 4(33) + 5 = 132 + 5 = 137

y = 137

the given point C (99, 137) lies on the equation.

Use the formula d = rt to ﬁnd the distance, rate, or time

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

16. d = distance

r = rate

t = time.

We know that the rate = 4, and time = 11.

=> d = 4 * 11

=> d = 44

17. We know that distance = 36, and time = 4.

=> 36 * r* 4

=> 36 = 4r

=> 36/4 = 4r/4

=> r = 9

Forensic specialists can estimate the height of a deceased person from the lengths of the person's bones. These lengths are subs

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

$130.2845\leq h\leq 137.7245$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an inequality that relates the height h, in centimeters, of an adult female and the length f, in centimeters, of her femur by the equation

$|h - (2.47f + 54.10)| \leq 3.72$

If an adult female measures her femur as 32.25 centimeters, we can determine the possible range of her height by plugging f = 32.25cm into the modelled equation as shown:

$|h - (2.47(32.25) + 54.10)| \leq 3.72\\|h - (79.9045 + 54.10)| \leq 3.72\\|h - (134.0045)| \leq 3.72\\$

If the modulus function is positive then:

$h - 134.0045 \leq 3.72\\h \leq 3.71+134.0045\\h\leq 137.7245$

If the modulus function is negative then:

$-(h - 134.0045) \leq 3.72\\-h+134.0045 \leq 3.72\\-h\leq 3.72-134.0045\\-h\leq -130.2845\\$

multiply through by -1

$-(-h)\geq -(-130.2845)\\h\geq 130.2845\\130.2845\leq h$

combining the resulting inequalities, the estimate of the possible range of heights will be $130.2845\leq h\leq 137.7245$
